 Madonna
Estate wines have been handcrafted by the Bartolucci
family, Napa Valley winegrowers and winemakers for more than
eighty years. They are created from 100 percent organically
grown grapes, which are dry farmed on the Estate Vineyard.
Located in the world renowned Carneros Region, the Bartolucci's
take great pride in the wines they craft. Through great skill,
elegance and care, Madonna Estate wines are styled to capture
the best of the vintage, the vineyard, and the variety. In
addition to organic farming, Andrea believes dry farming is
the best method to ensure maximum quality and grape flavor.
Using the dry farming method the newly planted vines are irrigated
only until they create an extensive root system. After the
roots become established, all irrigation lines are removed
and the vines are left to fend for themselves.

 Quixote
Winery - We've spent decades working against
the conventional wisdom of the Napa Valley. When Cabernet
Sauvignon dominated the California wine industry, we passionately
supported Petite Syrah. We still do. But a little cabernet
is nice, too. We want to make good wine, not a good name.
If our wine doesn't speak for itself, no signature will make
it any better. Ours is a family-owned winery. As you can see,
given the number of owners and the size of our production,
we have a strictly enforced allocation system to ensure that
customers can have a few bottles of Panza and Quixote to enjoy.
Unlike many winemakers, Monticelli doesn't have concerns about
leaving a “wine widow” at home. His wife Anna,
whom he met at Davis , is the winemaker for Bryant Family
Winery. “Wine governs our lives,” says Mario.

 St.
Barthelemy Cellars - While we cultivate our own
vineyards dedicated to growing grapes for our ports, we have
forged relationships with vineyard owners and growers in order
to harvest the best quality grapes at the ripeness levels
we seek. The hand-harvested grapes arrive at the winery picked
much later than grapes used for a still wine. The longer “hang
time” of up to one additional month on the vine allows
the grapes to develop higher levels of ripeness and more intense
flavors. At the winery, the juice is tasted daily during fermentation
in order to determine the optimum time to fortify with brandy.
Combined with testing the wine’s natural sugar content,
we use taste as the main factor when deciding to stop the
fermentation process. We then add aged brandy from RMS Caneros
Alambic Distillery to raise the alcohol level and halt the
natural fermentation of the wine. The wine, now a port, is
then put into oak barrels to age for 18 months.

 Domaine
Carneros - Located in the heart of the Carneros
region, Domaine Carneros stands alone as the only sparkling
wine producer using exclusively Carneros grapes. The Carneros
Appellation is the first American Viticultural appellation
to be defined according to climate rather than along political
lines. The appellation is characterized by a long, moderately
cool growing season tempered by the maritime breezes and lingering
fog off the San Pablo Bay just to the south. These are optimum
growing conditions for pinot noir and chardonnay, the two
primary grape varieties used in Domaine Carneros wines.

 ZD
Wines - The success of ZD Wines can only be attributed
to the dedication and winemaking philosophy of the de Leuze
family. As ZD Wines moves forward, the family continues to
grow. Norman and Rosa Lee's grandchildren represent the 4th
generation to contribute their time and skills to the winery.
In 1996 the de Leuze family purchased an historical, 33-acre
vineyard in Carneros. Formerly owned by Irish immigrant Patrick
Flanagan, the property is planted with 26 acres of Chardonnay.
Another seven acres was planted with Pinot Noir which produced
its first vintage in 1999. As the winery continues to grow,
so does the vision of ZD Wines.
